‘Really, there’s no reason to have another conversation unless both sides are willing to make major concessions. The Sabres would need to leap into the $6 million per year range, at least, which would mean Campbell taking a considerable discount. All told, the difference in dough between Campbell’s offseason proposal and his current value is at least $5 million, perhaps $7.5 million, maybe more, spread over five years.’
